    Default Will landlord check my background?

    I am looking for a new place and have found a couple of really nice ones. But on the application form they ask too many questions! Like current and previous job, landlord phone numbers, previous landrod, and more references! I have all that exept for my job. Should I admit to being a stripper ar will they never even call? I know everyone asks for references, but do they actually check them?

    I would just put down there where you work, but say you are a waitress or bartender there. They will prolly check, cuz hubby and I just got a new apt and they found out that we got "evicted" from an apt. Truth was, we had already given our 30 day notice to be out, and were in the process of cleaning the apt, taking care of the carpets, that sort of thing. We took our time, and then when we didnt turn the keys in on the day specified, they "evicted" us.

    I said I was a waitress at the club I am at. I let the manager know my real name and that the landlord might be ringing.... she rung just to make sure I worked there.

    Being honest actually worked in my favor because my apartment is down the road from my work, this gave me the advantage and I actually got the offer first over another lady. The landlord figured because I worked so close it would be better for me!!

    my grandpa is a property manager... he said that landlords never call an old landlord because they will never say anything bad about you.... think about it... even if you're a terrible tenant, they wont say you're bad because then no one will take you off their hands... they might call to find out if pay your rent or not, so if you do, you dont have anything to worry about...
